It also connects revenue streams to key resources, key activities and key partnerships: the technology platform, marketplace matching, driver supply, payment and operational relationships all influence delivery.

Rivalry can be assessed through customer switching, local marketplace density and service differentiation. Supplier power is especially relevant to access to drivers and other operating inputs, while buyer power differs between individual riders and organisations that may seek service terms, reporting or centralised billing. The threat of entrants depends on technology, network effects and local operating requirements.

Social factors include expectations for convenience, safety and accessible mobility. Technological change matters to platform reliability, data capabilities and integration needs.
